This is the book I'm currently using as the basic manual for Reiki training for those who train with me. After reviewing all the books shown here, and others, I feel this is the best overall source of information for anyone interested in a full understanding of what Reiki is, as well as those pursuing training. It is comprehensive and probably gives the best overview from a traditional Reiki training perspective, which I feel is still optimal for those who may be experiencing non-traditional training, as far as distance training is concerned. Miles is cautionary of non-traditional training, such as internet training/attunements, which I feel is warranted. But as more people become aware of Reiki and desire training, traditional Reiki classes are not always available or realistic for their situations. For this purpose, I favor using this book and working with students through distance training. I also appreciate Miles' focus on developing your own relationship with Reiki and following your intuition, rather than trying to memorize a lot of instructions. She emphasizes the fact that there's no wrong way to use Reiki. Miles does not include the Reiki symbols.
